let me ask you this. what happens when these meetings take place? >> well, it's going to be a little uncomfortable. but i think behind closed doors, y get down to talking turkey, i think you're going to see two main messages. which is one, we're sorry this had to come out and that it's embarrassing. and two, remember, we may collect more intelligence than anybody else in the world but we also share more intelligence with anyone else in the world. and you all are the recipients of a lot of that. so let's baseline this about who we are going to be mad at and for how long. >> jeff: and does edward snowden come up, the fact that more leaks are going to come out come up. >> i think it does. and i think will you see it on a couple of levels, jeff, number one glenn greenwald from the "guardian" is already tweeting that another large country is going to learn that it was the subject of u.s. surveillance tomorrow. so the shoes keep dropping. >> jeff: yup. >> but i also think that there's going to be a reach out to people that we have worked with that may not be public knowledge that they cooperated with it,
6:04 pm
and those countries are going to be told this may be disclosed and could be compromised as well as people we may have listened in on to say look, this is going to come out too. and here it is in contact and let's try and move on. so this is a gift that keeps on giving and giving. >> jeff: john miller, thank you very much. a reminder you can see john's interview have with former deputy director of the cia mike morell on "60 minutes" at 7:00 p.m., 6:00, central. tuesday marks the first anniversary of superstorm sandy. today new jersey governor chris christie responded to critics who charged the pace of recovery is too slow. he blamed the federal government. christie told the associated press, quote, to the victims i would say you're right i think is too slow. and i wish the federal government would allow us the flexibility to get you the aid more quickly. sandy also slammed new york city where plenty of rebuilding still needs to be done. especially neighborhoods barely above sea level. terrell brown tonight takes a look at lessons learned.

redevelopment of this factory site on brooklyn's waterfront. a new neighborhood he believes will be able to withstand bigger and stronger storms. in his design buildings are farther back from the water and taller. vital mechanical systems like elevators and electricity are above any potential flood areas. streets are graded downward so water flows back into the river. parks and green space help absorb any floodwater. >> people want to live on the water. they want to enjoy the water. and there are ways to allow people to do that in a way that's still safe. >> reporter: that safety comes at a price. it will cost more than $500,000 to rebuild joe courtney's home. half of it will be covered by government grants and loans. the other half he'll pay out of pocket. >> the main thing is that we're building to be safer and stronger. and be prepared for that next storm. >> reporter: with some homes on his street still left in ruins since the storm, he considers himself lucky to be rebuilding. terrell brown, cbs news, new york.

6:08 pm
the cardinals winners of game three. red sox catcher jarrod saltalamacchia reacted to the call after the play. >> i didn't see the obstruction. he is laying on the ground. craig was on the baseline trying to jump over. >> reporter: route rule 7.06 says if a play is being made on the obstructed runner the ball is dead and all runners shall advance. it's unclear to many if middlebrooks deliberately on obstructed craig's attempt to go home but according to the rule that doesn't matter. all that madders is that middlebrooks was in his way. >> the feet were up in the air and he tripped over middlebrooks right there. >> reporter: but the red sox can be forgiven if they feel snake bit by that particular rule. game three of the 1975 series saw a similar situation but that time it was the boston player who was clearly interfered with, and they didn't get the call. the red sox lost that game too, and the series. don dahler, cbs news, new york. >> jeff: the music world lost a legend today, lou reed passed
